“ While it might not be the top babi guling spot in town, the portions are generous. There's a variety of meat choices and the soup is tasty. The standout feature is the service – during a crowded lunchtime visit, the staff went out of their way to find us a comfortable seat to wait. The price is reasonable, but due to its location in a small alley, parking can be a bit tricky. I'd suggest avoiding peak hours if you plan to visit. ”

“ This is Babi Guling what about.. The taste, the spice, the portion, the price and last but not least the Balung soup is the best. Yes the place is not to comfort, especially if you come for lunch maybe need to wait to seated. I recommend using a motorcycle because it is located in the middle of the aisle. Still the best for me. ”
“ I only ordered to go. It was just OK. The pork was a bit dry and not as soft as other places that I rated 4 or 5-star. But it is good. So 3-star it is. ”
“ The most delicious suckling pig in Bali, located in an alley on the outskirts of Denpasar, provides an unusual eating experience, namely eating at a local resident's house, in the guest room, hallway and in the yard. The taste of the suckling pig is delicious, slightly spicy and there is a lot of filling, one special portion is probably enough for 2 people ”
“ We tried basi babi guling campur, it was 25k. Good portion, tender pork, tasty sauce and seasonings. Spicy but bearable. Lots of tables inside. The place is located in an alley, no car park is available. ”
“ Many staffs. Park the motor a few houses away. Food was great. The spices are strong. But If you like spices, you would like them. Various seating. The place is decorated. ”
